    Not feeling it. I haven’t liked any of these mash ups except maybe Superman in a hood.

    For some reason comicbook heroes and Star Wars to me are like oil and water. They just don’t mix.

    I’m even a fan of both! Just not together for some odd reason. Yet I’m still excited for the possibility of Marvel, Disney, Star Wars and Final Fantasy in Kingdom Hearts 3. Go figure!

    If Star wars would been a typical ”Marvel-heroes” type of movie, then it would never been anything more then just another failed attempt to create something unique and memorable!…

    How could I have been so Blind?! Batman infiltrated the marvel-verse, stole Hank Pym’s shrinking ability, and then used it to get to the infinity gauntlet in Odin’s trophy-room (because batman needs the gauntlet in order to write Ben Affleck out of existence – “which does not count as murder” – securing Christian Bale-Batman’s throne)
    But he was then stopped by Agent Coulson and the gatekeeper guy, forcing batman to escape to the recently-connected star wars universe, where he then turned his batmobile (which is also ant-sized) urban-camo’ mode and pulled a “han solo manuever” on the ‘falcon to evade the notice of Qui-Gon Jinn’s ghost (Qui-Gon Jinn is Raas al Ghul in an alternate universe and Qui-Gon since becoming one with the force knows this). It all makes SENSE!!!

            You think it’s completely modeled? I don’t say it’s not .Just saying it looks like texture on the left. I maybe wrong. It’s just interesting.

      Are you serious? This Falcon in this shot is 100% a live, real-life 1:1 scale model. NOT CGI. Unfortunately, i don’t think they built all sides of it though…..drag.

    Fun stuff. Thanks to the Star Wars team for this. It was awesome to see the Falcon close up like that (closer than we’ve ever seen her!)

    I freeze framed damn near the whole thing…I say the falcon’s real…The PVC piping and bolt heads have a realism that wouldn’t need that kinda detail for a cgi. And wouldn’t be surprised if its from Greenham common..My Kids got that tumbler toy for sure look at the front wheel axle they would’ve cgi that correct,but that’s how the toy looks

      I kept pausing it and taking screen caps too. It’s indeed one of the fully build or the half built one they’re filming now at Greenham Common.

        I agree with you on the half built Falcon. The only side filmed is the right side (cockpit). Same side we’ve seen the recent photos.

    Yes – definitely Greenham Common. You can see the green in the background early on.

    It’s stupid to think this is CGI. WE KNOW the Falcon has been built full scale. Why would they do a fully rendered CG shot like this as a joke between SW and DC. THINK people.

      People should stop throwing the word “stupid” around in the internet. There could be various reasons. Maybe JJ does not want to reveal the real deal yet. Maybe they have a half finished CGI model anyway and used this one for a better opportunity of a fast camera track. It just looks like CGI in some parts to me. I am not complaining, I’m just guessing along with other fans that’s all. For me it lacks depth.

        The other half of the Falcon has fallen to the dark side of The Force.

      I’m not saying its cgi, but why wouldn’t they have a fully rendered cgi Falcon ? I would think that they would have multiple cgi models of the Falcon.

    Maybe it is CGI, maybe it’s not…. They have a full scale model, so even if this was CGI, they probably have put a lot of time and effort into building a fully detailed model, based in ultra HD pictures and plans from the real deal. So what if there is some CGI, every now and then? As long as its gracefully done, who cares?.. Stop bitching about it! For once wake up, get a grip, gaze eyes and embrace this new reality where ‘virtual’ and ‘real’ hold hands together to create many, marvelous, eye candy and fun cinematics. People sound like they’re still stuck somewhere in the 70’s, along with vinyl, tape, dot-matrix, Sinclair computer and monochrome TV. Geezz!!.. *gasp*

    With today’s technology a CG Falcon would be 1:1 scale with details and texturing unlike anything they could do with models.

    I don’t know if this is a CG model or the prop they created and I really don’t care. Both are same ship.

    Far too many people don’t seem to know what CG is or does or what digital comps as opposed to analog comps are.

    Why not just be like me and enjoy all the movies for what they are. Far more pleasant and enjoyable that way.

      So this doesn’t look like a prop to you? It’s real and it shows.

      Keep in mind the images are taken from 2 different scenes with different motion speeds… which of course blurs the image a bit. In the X wing video the image is basically still & zooms in, while in the other video the camera is panning around the Falcon. & also the resolution & camera might be inferior to the one used for the X wing video.

    I’ve been fine just reading the conversations here for a year now and this is my first post. I just have to say that the comments suggesting this is or could be cgi are totally just insane. It’s a new low for delusional 10% of Star Wars fans that are these kind of bizarre prequel apologists.

    I was young when the prequels came out and at first just thought that I didn’t get them. Now after years of reading up on the making of the Star Wars films it’s so clear to me that George Lucas was way less passionate and self critical when he made the prequel films. He just wasn’t the same person. It was the scripts that were the main problem. Everything wrong with those films traces back to those scripts. Jesus, even George himself admits he isn’t a good writer.

    The other problem was the way he directed the production of the films. I’m so tired of hearing that excuse that the prequels have even more practical effects and miniatures that the original trilogy, because the scenes that count, the ones with characters interacting with eachother and the environment around them, for the most part, filmed in a lazy way in front of green screen. It gave the films a really fake, cartoony, cgi look that when mixed with the poorly developed and written scripts made the prequel films seem, to a lot of passionate Star Wars fans, that everything they loved about the original, classic, beloved, treasured, and culturally significant, phenomenal films was gone. The prequel films are a complicated mess that tore this fan base up.

    Thank Christ JJ Abrams is politely setting those toxic, lazy, passionless film making techniques aside and finally making a new, real, Star Wars film. A cgi Millieniem Falcon would look nothing like this amazing piece of real, craftsmanship and art seen in this great new video.

        Slightly overdone “dirty fade” sprayed paint job on the angle of the cockpit bridge. Also noticed it on the xwing nose – someone in prop team is being heavy handed with their spray painting.

      I’m a prequel HATER and I say there is a) either some CG in this or b) the cameras/lenses used make this look blurry and more “unrealistic”. Please don’t tell me yoi don’t see a difference between the look of this video and the X-Wing video with JJ in it.

        If this was a 35mm take it would remove any doubt from your mind that this is a real setpiece. Its the digi camera they used un color graded and a silk smooth stedicam device that gives it the wierd fake ish look.

        @ANON1 Here’s a news flash. When you take stills of things in motion they tend to be blurry. The x-wing camera was not moving, just being zoomed in. And as ANON2 pointed out, had the clarity of 35mm.

      I think your way off base. Lazy, cartoony, passionless? Go get a camera and some junk from a scrap heap, low rate actors, and let’s see what your spoiled self righteousness can accomplish. Go and get something done so you can get berated. When this trilogy is finished you will never want the prequel trilogy tampered with.
      All will make sense for the confused and impatient… Lucas will have the last laugh.

      Totally agree, the painful truth of good graphics is that they can’t be noticed as graphics. in lord of the rings, your looking at Gollum, you know that they used graphics to make him possible, but you not looking at the texturing, your looking at gollum as a physical creature.
      I still have trouble watching attack of the clones for many reasons, but for me, the biggest reason is simple. When they walk into Palpatine’s office, all I look at for the entire scene is how FAKE the floors and walls look, it’s like they stepped into a level of the “Secret Files” or something. Using graphics to depict things that are larger than life is cool, but the flying cars in the background only draw attention to problem that everything else you see is also graphics, and their unfinished graphic AT BEST.
      Gravity did a splendid job making a space shuttle look real, so you weren’t thinking “hey this is like that scene in Transformers!”, the graphics made everything look just a commonplace as it ought to be, it looked like a plain old satellite above plain old earth and OH SHIT THAT SPACE SHUTTLE JUST GOT TORN INTO A THOUSAND PIECES!!!
      then there’s attack of the clones where they didn’t bother to make an office look real. Andy’s bedroom was more convincing than an office in a big budget sequel of the grandfather of effects. Star Wars was beaten by a cartoon in authenticity for crying out loud!!!

      So yeah, see your point, if the graphics are immediately identified as graphics as opposed to the object they’re depicting, then the graphic (CG or model) has failed, period.
      It’s not the graphics budget that counts, it’s how you use it.

      I doubt this really interferes with shooting schedule, JJ probably just sent some tertiary assistant out with a camera and was like “hey film this and put a bat mobile somewhere on the falcon”.

    I don’t think this is a CG model, look at the small camera adjustements when we come closer to the Batmobile and if it is CG it’s a superb model but besides that who cares??? Could it always be a war between CG and not CG? Movies are made with a combination of digital and practical effects. All this CG haters should know how many times they have seen digital backgrounds or even characters or even face substitution in action scenes and did not notice.
    The prequels are not that great because the directing and the writing was not that great and the CG was pushed too much. George Lucas is an innovator and an amazing storyteller, but he can be wrong and he was when he did the PT.
    That said, I don’t understand why so many people here want the same effects of the 70’s???
    I want the same spirit, maybe the same feel of the OT but we are in 2014, I want to go on, I want to see a new movie.
    JJ that was cool! I have fate!!!!

    JJ was saying (in the interview with Howard Stern, posted by I) that he has a laser printer in his office – that’s probably why we’re seeing such a terrifically realistic model of The Millennium Falcon.
